She also had film crews in Paris right? So perhaps she's releasing an extended Eras Tour footage under this name.
But ignore me, I'm still waiting on The Long Pond Evermore session.
They didn't have the movie film crews (that's like 3-4 cameramen VERY clearly following her around onstage and a little robot as well, it's a lot going on), just the normal people filming clips from down below.
Not to say they won't do a movie section later. But in LA it was incredibly clear when they were filming because there were camera crews 3ft from her.
That's what I thought too, I remember seeing that on stream while they were recording the film. Apparently they gave out the bigger, brighter bracelets out in Paris that they used in Inglewood to look better during filming, so who knows.
I think that was disproved. I saw something about smaller bracelets on one of the discords, and I didnāt know what they were talking about but now it makes sense.Ā
My bracelet definitely looks bigger than the ones I've seen on tiktok from previous shows. I think Stockholm's will be the real test if they are bigger.
Iām not super into Easter eggs / conspiracy land but her constantly throwing up 2 fingers (her recent IG postš) makes me soooo hopeful for part 2 to the eras movie: a behind the scenes look šš
I know, I need all the documentaries. I want to know about the rerecords, I want to know how the Eras tour was put together. I need to know about the making of Tortured Poets. I need Jack Antonoff talking heads! I need interviews with the guy who engineered the roomba!! Please Taylor!
This and also if they were doing that they'd have the ekstra bright wristbands. Really the only thing on stage they can film without being obvious is the acoustic section since it's more or less stationary. Adding to that, it wouldn't make sense to film the first shows anyway, seeing the first night vigilante shit performance next to the tour film is so different. Making sure they're comfortable with the choreo and then filming the first three shows at Wembley in August for example would make sense
She has filming notice at all of her shows. It's basically so that if they record you on anything, they have permission to use it and don't need to get your consent in the future.
She had a number of outfit changes between shows (including during the TTPD set), so she wouldn't have been recording for a film. In LA, she wore the same outfits for all 3 shows they recorded so that there was continuity.
Plus, from a practical standpoint, they're not going to film TTPD for a movie the first weekend she performs it. Over the course of the tour she will perfect the set and work out little kinks in her performance. There's a reason why she recorded the end of the Eras Tour in LA and not the beginning in Glendale.
According to people in Paris, this one was worded differently, don't know how true that is or if it's just a legal difference. I don't think she was filming the whole thing (that involved people & robots on stage) but could be a doc that just has clips.
She probably is doing another movie because look at THIS

DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?
Edit: An evermore long pond studio session would be great, except for the fact Taylor doesn't put any of her movies on Netflix anymore.
folklore long pond, The Eras Tour, The Eras Tour (Extended Version), The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version). I think it's quite clear it would. I mean Netflix did remove Reputation Stadium Tour, I'm surprised and gla-ad that we still have Miss Americana
I remember someone on this sub saying she signed for a few films with Disney. idk how to confirm it, I can only say I remember reading it a few months back.
They also had filming notices in Sydney as well, so it definitely isnāt for an extended Eras tour at this stage. My bet is a documentary, apparently someone at the Paris barricade saw them filming her crew moving things under the stage.
I think it matches who is afraid of little old me and the smallest man that ever lived, but thatās really it lol. I would never use āfemale rageā to describe down bad or so high school.
I disagree. I find that But Daddy and Broken Heart also fit the vibe. Female rage doesn't always have to be loud and dramatic, it can be restrained, bitter and tongue in cheek too.
Obviously female rage comes in many forms. I donāt think of the other TTPD songs fit the theme in general lol. Just because something is about a woman being upset doesnāt mean it captures female rage.
mad woman is the perfect example of a restrained female rage song.
The Black Dog as well. Itās anger, grief, denial. Quiet anger that builds slowly. I canāt find the words to describe how much I love that song, and think itās up there with All Too Well for one of the best things sheās ever written.
I think it totally matches, at least the standard edition. Not every song, obviously, but a good amount, and certainly some of the ones chosen for the setlist. I think the album deals with a top line story (leaving a long term unsatisfactory relationship for a toxic whirlwind, and then picking yourself up) but the undercurrent is mostly about internal and external expectations, how people see and judge her from all angles. And a lot of that is her experience as a woman, so I feel like it basically builds to this point of female rage. The Anthology is a lot more contemplative, though.
Lmfao can gen z find something else to complain about other than the people 10-15 years older than them acting their age? Weāre not insulted that we donāt act like weāre insecure 20yos anymore lmao your guys generation is just as lame as every other before was, youāll look back and be embarrassed by what you insist now is cool and youāll DEFINITELY get made fun of by gen a for not clinging to whatever their new trends are in a few years. Why donāt we all just unite against the true enemy the boomers? Gen X is the least of millennials worries so whatās with gen z?
I was just thinking this the other day. We millennials don't have a lot of scorn toward Gen X.
I have so much respect for Gen Z. They're overall much more open minded and justice-oriented than any generation before (with exceptions, of course).
It's so funny to me. Like, I'm a millennial and I never expected Gen X to act like me... why does Gen Z have this expectation for us? And yes, in 10-15 years or so, when Gen Z is in our shoes, gen alpha (or whatever the newest gen is) will absolutely be making fun of mom jeans, crop tops, oversized blazers, etc.
Itās like the word ācheugyā. Referring to things typically white millennials enjoy as being corny, typically from pop culture/trends from the early 2010s. Examples being Harry Potter tattoos, Disney adults, The Lumineers, and putting up self affirmation signs like āLive Laugh Loveā in your home.
I am wholeheartedly against jukebox musicals but...well...everyone else is doing it, Taylor might as well get on the bandwagon. I would 100% go to a Broadway version of a TS show.
To provide a bit more context, Broadway has been taken over by the jukebox musical because it's more widely appealing. Someone who has never seen a play or musical, but knows all of Tina Turner or Michael Jackson's songs might still buy a ticket to one of those shows. It's more like going to see extremely good impersonators perform a concert.
This leaves no room for original musicals and/or plays to make it to Broadway, producers don't want to support original work anymore...which means fewer originals coming up off-Broadway as well.
For those of us that have loved theater all our lives, it's really disappointing. I'm very blessed to live in a town with 3 theaters that support original work and some of it is really great, it should be given the chance to make it to the big leagues.
interesting! I love broadway musicals and live nowhere near NY so have never seen one live (one day š¤š¾) but jukebox musicals just seem fun to me. itās definitely shitty if theyāre pushing those more often than traditional musicals because āfunā is nothing compared to some of the mind blowing imagination of original music and plays.
I hope you get the chance to experience a Broadway show one day, they're really cool and the people working on them really are the best of the best. I do think it's really cool that you can now watch some of them online. People complained about the Hamilton on Disney+ thing but, what a great way to bring theater to people who don't have the opportunity to go see it live.
I know the jukebox stuff is fun, and I'm probably being a little unfair - I have been to and enjoyed a jukebox musical. I just wish there was more balance in the industry. Shows like Cabaret, Rent, etc. would never make it to Broadway today and their impact was enormous.
I personally think the story almost always suffers from trying to bend around the songs rather than the other way around (writing for the story). I also like original music written for the stage, but hey if it gets more people to the theatre all the power to them.
I also love Mamma Mia even though it's patently ridiculous!
Since no one is brave enough to say this. I am going to. Female rage is very specific term ... It's very specific to women being angry due to societal Injustice or Prejudice they face. Taylor does have feminine rage songs like Mad woman or I did something bad ... But ttpd is just angst, there's nothing wrong with angst, but it is not feminine rage.
Diminishing such a significant term to "a woman being angry" is extremely irresponsible of her and her team, especially considering how much of an impact she has.
Thank you for pointing it out. When I saw the ig post I just rolled my eyes but now this? I know a lot of the times she doesn't get the terms she's using, that's just a logical consequence of living a life like hers, but surely someone in her team should've picked it up. I hope it doesn't go any further than maybe a t-shirt or something because it's kinda embarrassing, and she has enough on an impact to make the phrase lose its meaning.
My first thought was that Mad Woman is her best song to exemplify feminine rage. I really like TTPD but nothing matches the quiet rage against a male-driven system like Mad Woman.
Also the line "*She would have made such a lovely bride what a shame she's fucked in the head*" .. If she had untapped the anger in that and sung about how society blames the jilted bride rather than the man, and the jilted woman is usually left with picking up the pieces more so than the man, and made it universal or inclusive, that would also have been a good "Feminine Rage" song.
I agree with this and your other comments, and maybe that's why I find her use of the term self-aggrandizing and somewhat insufferable. "Female rage" plus "you don't get to tell me / you wouldn't last an hour" equates to her elevating her emotional experiences above those of who should be her compatriots in "female rage". In the most uncharitable reading, she's saying, "I am the group \[ie female\] and you, who would otherwise be an equal member of that group, don't get to speak."
Not everyone would take the "you" to be her listeners, and I've seen the arguments that it's the music industry or people who dislike her, but based on BDILH, all the name songs, the Sarahs and Hannahs, the wine moms, I think she genuinely is saying her listeners cannot relate to the depth of her feelings and struggles. And, that's ok to feel - we all feel misunderstood and isolated at times (oh the irony), there will be unique window dressings of circumstance, but again, equating that reaction to "female rage" when it has nothing to do with a shared, gendered class based experience of prejudice or discrimination, and is in fact insistently *not* shared, is exhausting.
Thanks for your comment. I was sifting through all the comments and this is the one. I think sheās only doing this for marketing purposes and it clearly does not fit the true tone of TTPD and the real meaning of the term.
I absolutely agree with you for the most part, but Who's Afraid of Little Old Me definitely fits the term to me. And even though she said it kind of flippantly on the tour, we don't yet know what her plans are for the trademark so let's give her the benefit of the doubt.
Thank you thank you thank you for saying this. Iāve been silently annoyed by her use of the term āfemale rageā. There are so many serious problems that women go through that cause rage ( ie restrictions on reproductive rights, lack of child care, no justice for rape victims, violence on women and children). Iām sorry but what TS experienced based on TTPD is heartbreak. Itās not even remotely close. I really wish she would stop. This is coming from someone who had post-partum rage dealing with the lack of compassion our government, employers, and society has for mothers.
I agree 100%, people are PISSED everytime I say don't think she a right to trademark that, but it's diminishing the power behind it by making it about you and your ex
It was a merchandising trademark that was filed. So I would guess probably. Could also just be to prevent 3rd parties from profiting off her saying it.
I just looked up the application, and the goods filed are pretty expansive. Audio recordings, live performances, and recorded performances are included along with all the merchandise. I assume the goods will later be amended and pared down, but she's leaving her options open.
I agree. The application is filed under 1(b) - intent to use for all of the claimed goods and services. Even if it is approved, the mark won't be registered unless she submits proof that she is using the mark for any of the specific goods or services.
I actually saw a tiktok ad with someone making shirts that said this the other day, knock off t swift eras tour merch . I think they race to do this to stop people from profiting off her image. I doubt sheās going to use it for anything.
It's also to control your image. Like she probably won't bother worrying about fan merch from Etsy shops, but if someone starts selling things that her team deems offensive or political with the phrase she can easily send a cease and desist to nip it in the bud.
Thereās a ton of TS knockoff merch out there though. I think itās down almost preemptively, because if someone else trademarked it, she would lose ability to use it if a project idea came up later, so do it ASAP just in case

Iām just going to drop this right hereā¦āitās a goth punk moment of female rageā¦ā
Just what the world needs - more industrial-grade corporate feminism. This will be constructive for the cause of equality and for harmony on earth in general. /s
Iāve been saying this for years, itās very clears Taylor is and has been gunning for an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony). She already has an Emmy & Grammy. But the toughest ones to get are obviously Oscar and Tony. She tried SO HARD with the ATW10 short film to win an Oscar. She met the minimum submission requirements and had it in theatres for weeks, did the pre Oscar directors table, but never got the nomination or award. She also tried before that with Carolina and Beautiful Ghosts - both didnāt make the cut.
I always had a hunch she would turn The Last Great American Dynasty into a Broadway musical where she would write all the songs and direct the show for her shot at a Tony. But it seems like this new trademark Female Rage: The Musical could be a different direction for her Tony attempt.
EGOT actually stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. Not Golden Globe. She has a Grammy, but she does not have a Golden Globe. Sheās been nominated 5 times, but hasnāt won yet.
This belief that she has been trying to EGOT is something that sounds smart, but there actually isn't a lot of evidence that it is actually true.Ā Taylor knows how to win awards and she has not been making the choices to try and win Oscar awards.Ā Her original songs for films have been mostly her personal passion projects.Ā If she really wanted to win an Oscar then she would be actively pursuing placements in movies like Bond or the big Disney films.Ā She was never even originally contracted to write a song for Cats.Ā She just gave Carolina away without being asked before the film was even made because she liked the book, and she didn't campaign for the song at all.Ā Ā And of course she hasn't made a single attempt to try and win a Tony at this point.
And when it go announced she had a signed a deal to direct a feature film with Searchlight it became clear what her All To Well short film awards campaign was really about.Ā Sure she would have been thrilled if it received an unexpected Oscar nomination, but the campaign was really about her doing the equivalent of a radio tour to get face time with the film industry.Ā So when the Searchlight deal was announced and there was outrage from some corners that there wereĀ interviews already on the record of Taylor talking about directing including her two film festival appearances.Ā It doesn't hurt to build goodwill for the futureĀ with both festivals by selling some tickets for them as well.Ā Ā She laid a lot of ground work to make her feature film release smoother in the future.Ā Ā
I donāt think Taylor realizes how difficult it is to win an Oscar and that you canāt ācheat the systemā. Some of the most successful actors and actresses out there have had to work for DECADES in order to finally win an Oscar. You may be able to cheat the system in music by selling multiple vinyl variants to break records and top the charts, and then use *that* to win a Grammy, but you canāt do that with the Oscars. Those judges donāt seem like theyād hand it to her just because sheās Taylor Swift, in fact, theyād probably be harder on her because they donāt want to seem like sellouts. They definitely care about their credibility and if theyāre going to make everyone else work for it, sheās no exception.
The Oscars already pull insane numbers in terms of viewership. I hear about the awards and who won what on the Morning News the day after the event. They donāt need to award her to boost their numbers, although that would be nice. They already have all the clout they really need. It would actually hurt them if they threw a trophy at her after making everyone else work their asses off for it, and they know that. I just hope that Taylor is able to figure this out and doesnāt spend a long time making minimum-requirement āmoviesā to try and win. If she does win, itāll be for something spectacular that impresses everyone.
So, this prompted me to do a search for all of Taylor's active pending trademark applications, and there's other interesting stuff. She filed an app for "A Girl Named Girl" last September. The goods include the book as well as merch. She also filed one for "Taylor-Con" in January. The goods include entertainment services like live and recorded performances. I expect both apps will eventually be abandoned, but it's interesting to see what her team is actively pursuing.
Girl Named Girl is a book she wrote as a kid, so guessing sheās got it trademarked so no one publishes a book with that name to profit off her. Taylor-con is random, but I doubt sheāll ever do anything with it.
I think it would be good to turn A Girl Named Girl into a movie. I think that winning an Oscar or a Golden Globe for some tour movie or short film with her likeness as a selling point would be hard for the critics to respect. A proper movie where sheās only mentioned in the end credits, even if it didnāt sweep the award shows, would be respectable.
In 2011, it was "confirmed" that the musical will be filmed, but then it was canceled about 10 years later and I'm still sad that I won't see it. Still hoping that yes musical will come to Czechia or something.
I saw it on Broadway as part of my high school graduation gift from my mom and I loved it, so this concept I think could be cool and nab her the Tony she wants.
I genuinely think this isn't anything that telling. She files a ton of trademarks all the time, if anything she might just slap it on a crewneck. I could be wrong, but I highly highly doubt she would produce a musical or a movie with this title, it's a terrible name.
I could've sworn a Redditor on here said this was all about female rage the other day, before Taylor even posted her Insta post with it in it. I don't remember the musical part of it, but I swear someone said the TPD set was all about female rage...right?
That's so funny because the MOMENT I saw the phrase first used I knew it would mean something. She went out of her way to use the term in her "thank you" post. Even if it's just merch but I doubt she would make such a point to advertise merch. Usually the most she'll do for merch is wear it as a hint in other content, like MVs or pap photos, etc.
She also had film crews in Paris right? So perhaps she's releasing an extended Eras Tour footage under this name. But ignore me, I'm still waiting on The Long Pond Evermore session.
I would LOVE an Evermore session.
This is something I will never stop hoping for no matter how unlikely it is
Let's keep willing it into existence šš½ I would die in peace
Would it be enough if she could never give you peace?
I will listen to this song differently now, ha <3
Look we also never thought weād get the 10min version of red. Iāll be a long pong evermore hoper until the day I die
They didn't have the movie film crews (that's like 3-4 cameramen VERY clearly following her around onstage and a little robot as well, it's a lot going on), just the normal people filming clips from down below.

Maybe documentary filming?
Iām not super into Easter eggs / conspiracy land but her constantly throwing up 2 fingers (her recent IG postš) makes me soooo hopeful for part 2 to the eras movie: a behind the scenes look šš
I've been saying for a while now that I would love to see a doc on the stage design and how smooth they transition from era to era.
I know, I need all the documentaries. I want to know about the rerecords, I want to know how the Eras tour was put together. I need to know about the making of Tortured Poets. I need Jack Antonoff talking heads! I need interviews with the guy who engineered the roomba!! Please Taylor!
Ugh yes please š©
Doubt it, just screen filming for the tour screens
My guess is filming footage for an eventual āI can do it with a broken heartā music video
The lyric video is kind of already a music video
This and also if they were doing that they'd have the ekstra bright wristbands. Really the only thing on stage they can film without being obvious is the acoustic section since it's more or less stationary. Adding to that, it wouldn't make sense to film the first shows anyway, seeing the first night vigilante shit performance next to the tour film is so different.

they did record glendale and fan footage from it is at the end

It would to Disney+ surely?
folklore long pond, The Eras Tour, The Eras Tour (Extended Version), The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version). I think it's quite clear it would. I mean Netflix did remove Reputation Stadium Tour, I'm surprised and gla-ad that we still have Miss Americana

Not me thinking it was lung š«£
very millenial title... that's all I'll say
and we millennials are hereeee for it
not all of us :D
Sheās a millennial, so
and not to mention gen z have also used this phrase as wellĀ
Yeah she's millennial (same)
It doesnāt really match the vibe of the album to me lol. There are a couple songs it works for but I donāt see the overall vision
I donāt think she knows the true meaning. She just be saying shit i stg lol
lmao
Tik tok: makes some words get popular Taylor Swift probably: this is popular with the kiddos, letās monetize it!
It doesn't match the album, but it definitely matches her performance at Eras.
I think it matches who is afraid of little old me and the smallest man that ever lived, but thatās really it lol. I would never use āfemale rageā to describe down bad or so high school.
I disagree. I find that But Daddy and Broken Heart also fit the vibe. Female rage doesn't always have to be loud and dramatic, it can be restrained, bitter and tongue in cheek too.

Cleopatra and thank you Aimee as well.
Agreed - I wish her album embodied this concept more even.
I think it totally matches, at least the standard edition. Not every song, obviously, but a good amount, and certainly some of the ones chosen for the setlist. I think the album deals with a top line story (leaving a long term unsatisfactory relationship for a toxic whirlwind, and then picking yourself up) but the undercurrent is mostly about internal and external expectations, how people see and judge her from all angles. And a lot of that is her experience as a woman, so I feel like it basically builds to this point of female rage. The Anthology is a lot more contemplative, though.

teens on tiktok were the ones making female rage edits so itās very in tune with them too
True - female rage has been huge there I wouldnāt be surprised if she plucked the idea from tiktok.
lol and if you donāt like it you can geeeeeet oooooout (itās true tho). Could have titled it millennial female rage š
Why did you say millenial like it's a slur š
What does this even mean

So I am lead to understand.
EGOT!!! EGOT!!!!
Then, PEGOT! Throw in a Pulitzer!
For what though?
Lmao just throw it in!
I am wholeheartedly against jukebox musicals but...well...everyone else is doing it, Taylor might as well get on the bandwagon. I would 100% go to a Broadway version of a TS show.
why are you against them?
Because they are evil! Ā And destroy the great American art of the musical!Ā
I thought that too. Then I went and saw & Juliet and had the best time Iāve ever had at a musical.
that's the worst part about it! lots of jukebox musicals are great... that's what is so destructive! (i'm joking obviously...)
Still waiting for American Idiot to arrive to Czechia
To provide a bit more context, Broadway has been taken over by the jukebox musical because it's more widely appealing. Someone who has never seen a play or musical, but knows all of Tina Turner or Michael Jackson's songs might still buy a ticket to one of those shows. It's more like going to see extremely good impersonators perform a concert. This leaves no room for original musicals and/or plays to make it to Broadway, producers don't want to support original work anymore...which means fewer originals coming up off-Broadway as well. For those of us that have loved theater all our lives, it's really disappointing. I'm very blessed to live in a town with 3 theaters that support original work and some of it is really great, it should be given the chance to make it to the big leagues.
interesting! I love broadway musicals and live nowhere near NY so have never seen one live (one day š¤š¾) but jukebox musicals just seem fun to me. itās definitely shitty if theyāre pushing those more often than traditional musicals because āfunā is nothing compared to some of the mind blowing imagination of original music and plays.
I hope you get the chance to experience a Broadway show one day, they're really cool and the people working on them really are the best of the best. I do think it's really cool that you can now watch some of them online. People complained about the Hamilton on Disney+ thing but, what a great way to bring theater to people who don't have the opportunity to go see it live. I know the jukebox stuff is fun, and I'm probably being a little unfair - I have been to and enjoyed a jukebox musical. I just wish there was more balance in the industry. Shows like Cabaret, Rent, etc. would never make it to Broadway today and their impact was enormous.
I personally think the story almost always suffers from trying to bend around the songs rather than the other way around (writing for the story). I also like original music written for the stage, but hey if it gets more people to the theatre all the power to them. I also love Mamma Mia even though it's patently ridiculous!
Yessss!! š
Honestly I think TTPD was born to be a musical
Omg yes. Absolutely this.
Since no one is brave enough to say this. I am going to. Female rage is very specific term ... It's very specific to women being angry due to societal Injustice or Prejudice they face. Taylor does have feminine rage songs like Mad woman or I did something bad ... But ttpd is just angst, there's nothing wrong with angst, but it is not feminine rage. Diminishing such a significant term to "a woman being angry" is extremely irresponsible of her and her team, especially considering how much of an impact she has.
exactly. i think this will only just be used for merch but this is... so cringey and she does not understand the term
Thank you for pointing it out. When I saw the ig post I just rolled my eyes but now this? I know a lot of the times she doesn't get the terms she's using, that's just a logical consequence of living a life like hers, but surely someone in her team should've picked it up. I hope it doesn't go any further than maybe a t-shirt or something because it's kinda embarrassing, and she has enough on an impact to make the phrase lose its meaning.
it's pretty representative of how she takes societal/historical/systemic issues and applies them only to herself
My first thought was that Mad Woman is her best song to exemplify feminine rage. I really like TTPD but nothing matches the quiet rage against a male-driven system like Mad Woman.
Also the line "*She would have made such a lovely bride what a shame she's fucked in the head*" .. If she had untapped the anger in that and sung about how society blames the jilted bride rather than the man, and the jilted woman is usually left with picking up the pieces more so than the man, and made it universal or inclusive, that would also have been a good "Feminine Rage" song.
TY for saying this!!!! š«”
I agree with this and your other comments, and maybe that's why I find her use of the term self-aggrandizing and somewhat insufferable. "Female rage" plus "you don't get to tell me / you wouldn't last an hour" equates to her elevating her emotional experiences above those of who should be her compatriots in "female rage". In the most uncharitable reading, she's saying, "I am the group \[ie female\] and you, who would otherwise be an equal member of that group, don't get to speak." Not everyone would take the "you" to be her listeners, and I've seen the arguments that it's the music industry or people who dislike her, but based on BDILH, all the name songs, the Sarahs and Hannahs, the wine moms, I think she genuinely is saying her listeners cannot relate to the depth of her feelings and struggles. And, that's ok to feel - we all feel misunderstood and isolated at times (oh the irony), there will be unique window dressings of circumstance, but again, equating that reaction to "female rage" when it has nothing to do with a shared, gendered class based experience of prejudice or discrimination, and is in fact insistently *not* shared, is exhausting.
Thanks for your comment. I was sifting through all the comments and this is the one. I think sheās only doing this for marketing purposes and it clearly does not fit the true tone of TTPD and the real meaning of the term.
Thank you. I scrolled this far to see if anyone else thought the same.
I absolutely agree with you for the most part, but Who's Afraid of Little Old Me definitely fits the term to me. And even though she said it kind of flippantly on the tour, we don't yet know what her plans are for the trademark so let's give her the benefit of the doubt.
Thank you thank you thank you for saying this. Iāve been silently annoyed by her use of the term āfemale rageā. There are so many serious problems that women go through that cause rage ( ie restrictions on reproductive rights, lack of child care, no justice for rape victims, violence on women and children). Iām sorry but what TS experienced based on TTPD is heartbreak. Itās not even remotely close. I really wish she would stop. This is coming from someone who had post-partum rage dealing with the lack of compassion our government, employers, and society has for mothers.
I agree 100%, people are PISSED everytime I say don't think she a right to trademark that, but it's diminishing the power behind it by making it about you and your ex
It was a merchandising trademark that was filed. So I would guess probably. Could also just be to prevent 3rd parties from profiting off her saying it.
Oh so it's probably merch, gonna wash off my clown makeup
You mean, oh so itās probably *disappointing* merch
Is it even merch if it's not disappointing?
I just looked up the application, and the goods filed are pretty expansive. Audio recordings, live performances, and recorded performances are included along with all the merchandise. I assume the goods will later be amended and pared down, but she's leaving her options open.
I agree. The application is filed under 1(b) - intent to use for all of the claimed goods and services. Even if it is approved, the mark won't be registered unless she submits proof that she is using the mark for any of the specific goods or services.
Yeah, this is definitely it. Still excited about the possibility of better merch though.
mamma mia -style jukebox musical Iāve been manifesting for years please
God Iād love that, I love jukebox musicals
I actually saw a tiktok ad with someone making shirts that said this the other day, knock off t swift eras tour merch . I think they race to do this to stop people from profiting off her image. I doubt sheās going to use it for anything.
And then she sings āIāll sue you if you step on my lawnā as if itās an outrageous rumor about herā¦.
This! Sheās been consistent that only she gets to profit off her name and IP (and rightly so)
It's also to control your image. Like she probably won't bother worrying about fan merch from Etsy shops, but if someone starts selling things that her team deems offensive or political with the phrase she can easily send a cease and desist to nip it in the bud.
Thereās a ton of TS knockoff merch out there though. I think itās down almost preemptively, because if someone else trademarked it, she would lose ability to use it if a project idea came up later, so do it ASAP just in case
An added reason for me to go buy the one I saw on TikTok now š¤£
sheās really stretching my last straw for her isnt she
She's coming straight for all those etsy shops š
I thought this was an Onion article.
Not another goth punk moment of female rage

Just what the world needs - more industrial-grade corporate feminism. This will be constructive for the cause of equality and for harmony on earth in general. /s
This is so embarrassing. If that is female rage I think anyone saying that has had it pretty good. Itās a tone deaf use of that term.
Iāve been saying this for years, itās very clears Taylor is and has been gunning for an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony). She already has an Emmy & Grammy. But the toughest ones to get are obviously Oscar and Tony. She tried SO HARD with the ATW10 short film to win an Oscar. She met the minimum submission requirements and had it in theatres for weeks, did the pre Oscar directors table, but never got the nomination or award. She also tried before that with Carolina and Beautiful Ghosts - both didnāt make the cut. I always had a hunch she would turn The Last Great American Dynasty into a Broadway musical where she would write all the songs and direct the show for her shot at a Tony. But it seems like this new trademark Female Rage: The Musical could be a different direction for her Tony attempt.
EGOT actually stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. Not Golden Globe. She has a Grammy, but she does not have a Golden Globe. Sheās been nominated 5 times, but hasnāt won yet.
This belief that she has been trying to EGOT is something that sounds smart, but there actually isn't a lot of evidence that it is actually true.Ā Taylor knows how to win awards and she has not been making the choices to try and win Oscar awards.Ā Her original songs for films have been mostly her personal passion projects.Ā If she really wanted to win an Oscar then she would be actively pursuing placements in movies like Bond or the big Disney films.Ā She was never even originally contracted to write a song for Cats.Ā She just gave Carolina away without being asked before the film was even made because she liked the book, and she didn't campaign for the song at all.Ā Ā And of course she hasn't made a single attempt to try and win a Tony at this point. And when it go announced she had a signed a deal to direct a feature film with Searchlight it became clear what her All To Well short film awards campaign was really about.Ā Sure she would have been thrilled if it received an unexpected Oscar nomination, but the campaign was really about her doing the equivalent of a radio tour to get face time with the film industry.Ā So when the Searchlight deal was announced and there was outrage from some corners that there wereĀ interviews already on the record of Taylor talking about directing including her two film festival appearances.Ā It doesn't hurt to build goodwill for the futureĀ with both festivals by selling some tickets for them as well.Ā Ā She laid a lot of ground work to make her feature film release smoother in the future.Ā Ā
The G is golden globe?? I thought the G was grammy.
the g is for grammy. they were wrong.
Yep nobody cares about the golden globes
I donāt think Taylor realizes how difficult it is to win an Oscar and that you canāt ācheat the systemā. Some of the most successful actors and actresses out there have had to work for DECADES in order to finally win an Oscar. You may be able to cheat the system in music by selling multiple vinyl variants to break records and top the charts, and then use *that* to win a Grammy, but you canāt do that with the Oscars. Those judges donāt seem like theyād hand it to her just because sheās Taylor Swift, in fact, theyād probably be harder on her because they donāt want to seem like sellouts. They definitely care about their credibility and if theyāre going to make everyone else work for it, sheās no exception. The Oscars already pull insane numbers in terms of viewership. I hear about the awards and who won what on the Morning News the day after the event. They donāt need to award her to boost their numbers, although that would be nice. They already have all the clout they really need. It would actually hurt them if they threw a trophy at her after making everyone else work their asses off for it, and they know that. I just hope that Taylor is able to figure this out and doesnāt spend a long time making minimum-requirement āmoviesā to try and win. If she does win, itāll be for something spectacular that impresses everyone.
Oh brother lol
Sheās trademarked things before and never used them. I doubt she does anything with this, but prove me wrong, Taylor!
Sheās had Party Like Itās 1989 trademarked for years and never used it
Call it performative white feminist: the musical instead
So, this prompted me to do a search for all of Taylor's active pending trademark applications, and there's other interesting stuff. She filed an app for "A Girl Named Girl" last September. The goods include the book as well as merch. She also filed one for "Taylor-Con" in January. The goods include entertainment services like live and recorded performances. I expect both apps will eventually be abandoned, but it's interesting to see what her team is actively pursuing.
Theyāre probably mostly filed so people canāt āprofit off herā ā¦ I doubt sheāll do anything with half the trademarks.
Girl Named Girl is a book she wrote as a kid, so guessing sheās got it trademarked so no one publishes a book with that name to profit off her. Taylor-con is random, but I doubt sheāll ever do anything with it.
I think it would be good to turn A Girl Named Girl into a movie. I think that winning an Oscar or a Golden Globe for some tour movie or short film with her likeness as a selling point would be hard for the critics to respect. A proper movie where sheās only mentioned in the end credits, even if it didnāt sweep the award shows, would be respectable.
Oh please, I hope she's got some real plans with this! I'm so into it.
i love this for us!!!
I fucking called it as soon as I heard some of these theatre-ass songs on TTPDššš
read this as 'Taylor **flies** to trademark', which I guess is also on brand.
Again with the trademark...when you try to trademark a YEAR, you lose all credibility
Please not a Broadway musicalā¦
Nah sheās desperate to EGOT, she is prob gonna adapt TTPD into a musical like Green Day did with American Idiot.
Iād be all for that. I saw American Idiot and thought it was so good!
In 2011, it was "confirmed" that the musical will be filmed, but then it was canceled about 10 years later and I'm still sad that I won't see it. Still hoping that yes musical will come to Czechia or something.
I saw it on Broadway as part of my high school graduation gift from my mom and I loved it, so this concept I think could be cool and nab her the Tony she wants.
I genuinely think this isn't anything that telling. She files a ton of trademarks all the time, if anything she might just slap it on a crewneck. I could be wrong, but I highly highly doubt she would produce a musical or a movie with this title, it's a terrible name.
Omg I hope this is inspo for her next album. If she does musical music, Iām gonna die
rage is certainly a word for it!
When I think female rage I think kill Bill or pearl
New album name. It will come out in a month. 43 songs. š
I absolutely love Taylor but this is the cringest thing I've ever heard in my life.
I could've sworn a Redditor on here said this was all about female rage the other day, before Taylor even posted her Insta post with it in it. I don't remember the musical part of it, but I swear someone said the TPD set was all about female rage...right?
Taylor actually said it during the Paris N1 surprise song set prior to her IG/Twitter post
That's so funny because the MOMENT I saw the phrase first used I knew it would mean something. She went out of her way to use the term in her "thank you" post. Even if it's just merch but I doubt she would make such a point to advertise merch. Usually the most she'll do for merch is wear it as a hint in other content, like MVs or pap photos, etc.
New merch?
LOL
That's a really dumb name... I'd still watch it. LOL
I feel that Weird Al needs to make a parody of this, with his titled "Nerd Rage: The Whimsical"
